Looks very nice. Am I correct that the two pincers grab the ball, rotate it up to the top, where it is launched? How high off the ground is it tossed?

How well do the claws hold on to the ball? It looks like you have very little surface area, and therefore making it so that the ball must be very precisely positioned, but if it works, it works.

And what might the unmounted "super awesome special feature" be?
